The NBA has a major problem.

It is shitty for a team like Utah or OKC to do just about everything right and support their star players, only to see them walk away.

However, that is the FREE part of free agency. Players are allowed to go wherever they want for whatever money they think will make them happy. Some guys want what they believe is a better shot at a title, others a different city/organization, others want the $$, etc.

While I get the context of a small market New Orleans message board, it is funny to me that players sacrificing money to play for better teams is now a major problem for the NBA.

Hence why I don't think this duo will be around 3 yrs from now in Pel uniforms

As for Davis/Cousins, if the Pels could build a consistent 50+ win team, they have a very good chance at keeping them. Unfortunately, the Pels have not been as good as Utah or OKC as an organization. And it will suck as a Pels fan if they leave, but if things continue as is for the organization, I would not blame either guy for pursuing greener pastures.
